Hallo all! I really HOPE someone might help me with a really annoying issue:
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 Black-Edition (Modelnumber: GT-I9505). From day one I rooted the phone
(CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5)
but still use the samsung stock Rom. My Android version is 4.4.2 and I had the genuine firmware-version I9505XXUGNF1 from the Samsung homepage (sammobile).
.. Everything has been working perfectly for about a month, but then suddendly my phone startet to turn off and on again randomly by itself. Note that the turning on is much quicker then the regular booting-up (after I properly shut the system down) and that the autonomious turning on does not require the PIN-code.
I tried to fix this problem by:
- removing the external Memory-Card,
- removing the sim-card,
- deinstalling busybox,
- completly whiping the system (via TeamWin recovery) and installing EVERYTHING from scrach (no Backup-restoring) --> tried this four times!,
- installing the latest firmware-version I9505XXUGNG2,
- changing the battery,
- COMPLETLY canging the device: (installing EVERYTHING from scrach (no Backup-restoring) on a completly new device (new Galaxy S4 Black-Edition)) --> same problem!
--> NOTHING WORKED OUT!!!! So I'm REALLY annoyed about that!
Note, that after a complete restoring of the system, the phone works perfectly for some days - maybe 4-3 - and then the turning-off-and-on terror returns.
I put a screenshot of my battery-trajectory as an attachment. You can see two vertical lines indicating that the phone has turned itself off for a short ammount of time.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the cause for that issue? Is there anyone sharing the same problem? What could I try to solve that problem? Is there mayby a taskmanager-app logging systemerrors, so I could check, what happened before the turning off?
I'm VERY thankful for any sort of help!

Hi Mate,
Not saying this is your problem but i seen some people having issues with the power button , symptoms are similar to your random reboots like in constant reset....check the power button see if is stock and easy way to check is try to go to recovery without pressing the power button.....if is really stuck or short out you should be able to go to recovery without ( for a short time) ....that will prove that the problem is coming from there...
Of course if is very sporadic wait until is happening for testing ..
I had the same problem before because I disabled knox using supersu. What I did was delete all knox related apps and everything is good.
Many users had this problems with Knox as well. Try to uninstall everything relating to Knox, maybe it will work

Well.. What can I say? Thank you SOOOO MUCH!! The problem is solved! Indeed, deleting all Knox-Entries via Titanium Bakup really solved the problem. Now, everything is fine and the system runs smoothly. Again, thank you very much!

Hi PIMPL
am curious about this because today my S4 started to do random shuts off. So your phone never showed the problem again after uninstalling all the Knox stuff? I have an I9500 Android 4.4.2; everything stock, non rooted.
Thanks!

It's right uninstall Knox and be happy

I have the same issue at the moment - Phone is completely standard (Not rooted). All has been good until the morning of the 30th August when there was a new firmware update applied. I had already had the Kit Kat update earlier in August and the phone had been working with no issue, since this 220Mb odd 'patch' the phone will just randomly reboot, I say random but it just seems after it has been idle (Screen off) for a while on unlocking I can start an app (pretty much anything) and about 5 seconds later the phone will reboot. As the OP mentioned it is a faster than normal reboot and it doesn't play the normal start up sound either.
I am not sure what the update did, it mentioned ironically that it was fixing stability issues!!! - Is there a way without rooting the phone to roll back the firmware to before the patch?
Cheers.
Factory reset worked too
I have been struggling with a similar problem on my GT-I9505 since receiving a system update on May 30, 2014 -- random reboots many times a day, plus fairly reliable reboots about 30-40 seconds into any received phone call. I tried cleaning caches, uninstalling recently installed apps and then other unneeded apps, installing new updates, and lots of other things. My last resort was rooting and removing Knox as suggested here. But first I tried a factory reset, and it worked! I've now gone several days without an unintentional reboot. It's a pain to have to restore backups and reinstall apps, but it was worth it. I hope this information is helpful to someone.
Issues on my CF auto-rooted GT i9505
My firmware is the stock I9505XXUGNG8-DBT and rooted with CF Auto-root.and Phill''s CWM.
1. When I wake up my phone by pushing the home button my first screen is frozen until I push the home button again for 2 or 3 seconds. Only since then I can use my apps.
2. By incomming phone calls my phone reboots and I lose contact, so they have to call me again, Then everything is well.
3.The time on my homescreen doesn''t synchronize until I push the home button for the second time waking up the phone .
I already used SSCF Xposed. That didn''t help.
Somebody the same issues. Or somebody who got some tips for me.

I guess this will help. Knox often causes this issues. Just uninstall everything relating to Knox with Titanium Backup

I'm having the same problem as OP.
I've frozen all Knox related apps in Titanium Backup, but the problem persists. Do I need to fully delete the apps do you think? Is there a difference?

I think I solved my problem: I deleted all Knox related items and when I rebooted my phone again it stucks on the Samsung logo. I installed the stock I9505XXUGNG8-DBT again with Odin. Installed CF Auto-root.and Phill''s CWM again. Installed Supersu again.
Now everything is working again without the frozen screen, time synchronizes and no booting by incoming phone call anymore.
Hello experts,
I got a galaxy s3 neo and I'm facing the following issue: after some time of use (about 2~3 weeks) almost all apps or processes start to crash so I get the message mentioned in the title. A cache clean-up or a factory reset don't solve the problem, I have even installed other 2 stock roms (Italy and Austria) but at the end the behavior is the same. However, if I leave the phone uncharged for a week it works normally for 2 ~ 3 weeks. Can it be a hardware issue?? Have one of you experienced such problems??
Thank you for helping,

Try to NOT auto-download backup apps from Gplay. Do you have root or cwm installed?

Hi MoHuTop,
yeah, I actually don't use Gplay backups after flashing or rolling back to default configuration. I don't have CWM or Root anymore cause I flashed the phone with a german stock rom about one month ago. Since then the phone worked fine for 3 weeks then the apps started crashing, phone freezing, constant reboots, files like fotos became missing, whatsapp notified the backup files were missing and so on. Did a factory reset but same way it didn't solve anything (the processes start crashing on the screen to select the phones's language) so I left the phone without battery for 2 days and it's now working "fine", don't know for how much time.

I think you've downloaded bad apps to get UI crashing. I'm 100% sure it's software problem. Take care of your phone and give more info, if you have another issues.
Best regards.
Hi,
Yesterday i have updated my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9400 to Lollipop 5.0 from KitKat. But since then m facing too many problems which were not before:
1. The phone is getting overheated and the battery drains too fast.
2. The Home Screen background wallpaper disappears on its own and then even after applying it, it does not appears.
3. M not able to chcnge the folder icon.
4. The phone blinks around 10 times in a minute.
5. Keyboard disappear when we are in middle of typing a text. This happens mostly when using WhatsApp.
6. Touchwiz UI crashes too very frequently.
7. Not able to change the icon size
8. Knox app is not opening.
There are many issues. I have not rooted my phone and using stock Android. Please suggest some solution for this.
Thanking You

But you need to do one factory reset.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
But that will remove the Lollipop right? I will make sure to backup everything. but will i need to re-update my phone? Cant i downgrade it to Kitkat again without rooting?
The factory should not remove the OTA update, but it will wipe your internal storage plus all your installed apps. So you definitely want to back up everything before you go any further. And even if it does wipe the OTA update, you simply download it again and then let it take. You won't have to do the wipe again since you already did it.
Once you upgrade the bootloader to Android 5.0.1 you won't be able to easily revert to Android 4.4.x, if at all.
I am facing the same problem. i did a factory reset after updating.
I am facing exactly as your problem. I hope there's a solution to this except flashing back to kitkat.

lockscreen after lollipop update
Hi guys, hope you can help me,
When my s4 was on kitkat, if i received a message but i take the mobile after a few seconds (when the screen turns off), it would vibrate and the screen will light up automatically
But after the lollipop update when i move my mobile , it will only vibrate, but the screen will not light up. Can anyone tell me how to enable it to light on automatically again.
The overheating issue is well known with Android Lollipop update across devices.
No factory reset can solve that issue.
I have moved out of the official Samsung ROM and am running Exodus 5.1.1 custom ROM without external memory card.
Heat is manageable. However, I feel the best ROM for Galaxy S4 was KitKat 4.4.2.
In that case you can even try using Aurora ROM for S4.

Okay, this is what i did, fortunately i installed a custom rom on my SM-N910P (sprint, snapdragon) called enhanced rom, this rom brought with it an app called Kernel Adiutor, i opened and saw only 2 out of 4 cores were in use, so i turned them all 4 on and the phone stopped acting like that, it was instant, so if any of you has a rooted device and this problem just get the app and turn on all the cores in the CPU tab inside the app
The first one fixing it
For now I use "wake lock" with Android 6. A few times the phone gave me that download mode with "emmc feilure", but I installed some app from playsotre, which tests if there is a bug with emmc, the app said there's no bug.
I've tried a few custom roms - it is the same...
When I bought the phone (second hand) the first 2 months everything was running smoothly, but now it is like a chaos, random crashes, restarts etc...
Help will be appreciated!!

Flash the COG5 firmware... Make sure u put device on a ice pack or something frozen so that the board stays cool while flashing. You also didn't state which note 4 you have. This is for the Sprint version https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...tar-files-return-to-stock-t3174291/page6/amp/
